I'm looking for four players to start a Carrion Crown PBP. (my first PBP, but second time running Carrion Crown)
the basics:
-20 point buy.
-150 gold starting
-Core rules, APG, UM/UC and Inner Sea World Guide. Anything else needs approval.
-2 traits. one from the Carrion Crown player's guide. Please feel free to include Professor Lorrimor (and his daughter if you like) into your backgrounds to whatever degree you like. Be a student of his, be a local admirer of his daughter, whatever.
-Posting primarily on weekdays. Looking for one post a day from players.
Please post character ideas and a rough background. Once selections have been made, I will ask for a complete background and character profile. Deadline for applying is Friday, midnight EST.
If I'm forgetting anything, please let me know.
Specifics for posting combat/skill checks/etc will be covered once characters have been selected.
I'm not a rules lawyer. I tend to rule in favor of what is cool/interesting/fun over what's by-the-book. We will see how this shakes out in a PBP
I think this Adventure Path lends itself very well to PBP, so hopefully this will be a lot of fun for everyone. Good luck.
I'm keen. I can easily post everyday. (Currently in 4 pbp) Will submit either a witch, wizard or sorcerer. Getting to it.
Are you going to use Maptools or Flickr or silar to show maps or will this be descriptive text only?
I am currently running CC due to GM disappearance, and if the remaining players are willing, we could restart with you.
I have a human Inquisitor who started a CC PbP that was cut short early on when our GM disappeared over the holiday. I'd love to keep playing him - character profile is here... might rework stats/feats/etc., but the background is there (question answers were requested by the GM, but I'll keep them there too).
I am currently running CC due to GM disappearance, and if the remaining players are willing, we could restart with you.
They are welcome to apply with their already-made characters or new ones (of course)
I've already opened this to the boards, so i'd rather not take a complete group already involved, if that makes sense

Mostly descriptive text. If the need arises, maps will be made and posted for easy access.
I'm interested. This will be my first pbp on the Paizo boards, so please bear with me on any board conventions. I'll submit either a fighter, ranger or magus.

Looks like it's just me and one other left.
Me: ClericThe other is a Ranger
I would be interested too, thinking about either a oracle or a sorcerer.
Hi, this is the other character Azure_Zero mentioned. He's a half-elven urban ranger, built on 20 points. I'd have to mess with his equipment, I think, but that's about it. I'll copy his background here behind a spoiler tag:
I have no trouble posting at least once a day on weekdays.
Here you go. I'm assuming level 1 right.
Yes, level 1.
Ok brought her back to level 1
Rhia Van der Geist, Oracle of Ancestors.
Everyone living in Ustalav knew the truth of their land, a country rife with undead, creatures preying on the innocent or unprepared. In the city of Karkau, the innocent have been defended and protected as best as possible by members of the Van der Geist family, tracing back to the legendary Artur Van der Geist, famed paladin of Pharasma, who led an assault against the Whispering Tyrant that it is said helped to weaken him enough for his eventual downfall. Though Artur fell he swore with his dying breath that the people of Ustalav would always have protectors.
His words would turn out to be prophecy as throughout the generations his decendents would stand against the darkness, warriors and priests, wizards and paladins, the defense of the people to strive against the taint of the land was in their blood.
Centuries later a warrior of the Van der Geist line would stand alongside his wife, a cleric of Pharasma as they faced a host of undead. Battling furiously they prevailed, but not before the woman was attacked by a powerful ghost attempting to possess her. Her force of will prevailed but the assault left her weak.
Returning to their home she was given a clean bill of health by the clerics along with the discovery that she was one month with child.
The baby was born healthy and hale, with no sign of ill effect from her mother's encounter until at the age of 4 her mother found her singing a song, that hadn't been famous in over a hundred years. When asked the child explained that her great grandmother sang it to her regularly.
Like her brothers she was trained in the arts of war, taught the weaknesses of the undead, yet this was not where her true talents lay. It seemed that the strength of the bloodline was such that younng Rhia acted as a conduit for those who staunchly stood by the oath, upholding the promise to battle on even beyond death.
It was her unique gift for communing with her ancestors that brought her into contact with Professor Lorrimor, an expert in the unusual phenomena of the land who was studying her family's history at the time. The two became fast friends, with the Professor encouraging her to explore the extents of her gift, embracing it for what it was, both a legacy and a unique connection to those who had for one reason or another not moved on to the other side.
Surrounded by the members of her family, both those who would see her fight on against the darkness and those, grudgingly held to a legacy they never wanted, she is a nexus of etereal energies, and as such, a terget for the supernatural, a role she proudly accepts as the latest in the Van der Geist line to stand against the tide of undead horrors that threaten the people.
She stands fearless, because she knows that she does not stand alone.
This is my character from the dying CC game.
She also has some of the required skills to get research done.
Could it be a Changeling cleric of pharasma?
She grew up into a temple of Pharasma and she knew Professor Lorrimor when she was looking for an answer about the calling of her mother. He helped to understand her destiny.
I´ll wait your answer before to create the character.
Domain Repose.

I'd like to play. This would be my first CC and my first PbP, so you know. New experiences.
Gorum the Soul-Wounded ; Human (Kellid) Barbarian
One night, many years ago, a young Varisian girl by the name of Bella escaped from her home and vanished into the night. To her family and village, she is a distant memory, but to the Tooth-Eaters, a Kellid tribe that dwells in the swamps of Ustalav, she is very real. Bella wandered too far into the woods during her attempt to wrestle free of the binds of her marriage, and became lost. Hearing the strange sounds of wildlife and worse, she nearly fainted with relief when she came upon a camp of humans. The Tooth-Eaters were initially suspicious, but they were willing to take her in and protect her from the horrors of the night. Their wiseman, Garik, was charmed by her beauty just as she blushed at his strength and bestial charisma, and soon Gorum was born.
Gorum was a sickly infant, and the tribes-people were worried that perhaps Bella's spawn was cursed. Such worries were soon dispelled, however, as Gorum grew quickly and grew well. He would eventually go on to outgrow all other tribesmen, even Yongan the Bear, and Yongan was large indeed.
Garik could tell early on the Gorum was not well-suited for shaman work, as his zeal and physique both pushed him towards a warrior's life. And so Gorum spent his early years with the hunters, learning his way around the spear and the bow. Eventually, during a great raid of a small village, Gorum won the greatsword off of a defeated soldier, and has since kept it, often bragging of it's quality.
During a hunt, Gorum's father had fallen ill, and Gorum was plunged into melancholy. His tribe needed to migrate, but Gorum elected to stay behind and care for his father and mother. During this time, Professor Lorrimor was studying in the wilds when he was attacked by wolves Gorum had been tracking. At the last minute, Gorum's arrows killed the wolves and saved the Professor's life. Gorum invited him to stay with him in the hopes of his father being healed. While the Professor could not save him, Gorum and Lorrimor became good friends during the time, and Gorum and his mother decided to accompany Lorrimor back to civilization.
I'll have something up later, for now just dotting.
Zofia, tomorrow the background.
Still editing. Gonna be an Arcane Bloodline Sorcerer, with wizard issues. Only ability scores correct atm.

Chance Savior Fate smiled on you and Professor Lorrimor one day in the not so distant past. Through a matter of pure chance, you were in a position to save the late scholar's life and did so. His gratitude was effusive, and he promised that he would never forget y
Darkvision (60 feet) You can see in the dark (black and white vision only).
Orc Ferocity (1/day) 1/day, when brought below 0 HP but not killed, you can fight on for 1 more round as if disabled. The next round, unless brought to at least 0 HP, you immediately fall unconscious and begin dying.
Power Attack -1/+2 You can subtract from your attack roll to add to your damage.
Gkirkhan is a simply humanoid. He likes nothing better than to fight, flirt, and drink. He has become infamous in many farming communities as a womanizer, a drunk, and a violent sociopath. While between two such communities, Gkirkhan happened upon Professor Lorrimor, at the same time as a group of brigands and cut-throats. After defeating the bandits, Gkirkhan and the Professor shared a few drinks at the tavern in the next town. Gkirkhan took a liking to the man and was sad to hear of his passing.
(If the accent gets too annoying, let me know and I'll drop it. I just wanted to play a character that acts like the Jagers from Girl Genius.)
What hp method we using? Roll straight up or max at first level?
Deacons fluff is done, slowly rewriting the crunch over my cut/paste from another ofy chars.
Basically he'd fill your wizardy type role as best a sorcerer can, he'll use the human favored class option for extra spells knownso despite being a sorcerer he'll have a big range and is smart enough for 5 skills per level to handle the arcane/planes etc knpwledges.
He'll mostly focus on Battle control and debuffing and the extrafavored will cover utility spells. I'll take careful consideration of group needs as we level (if I make the cut).
About Iesha Moonlight
NOTE: Iesha was built as a proposed character for another Carrion Crown PbP. The build was 20 pts and we were allowed 3 traits[2 normal and one campaign] and maximum gp at first level. She currently has no equipment and can be adjusted if she's accepted in another CC game. I'll have to drop one trait; probably the Intense Artist.

Iesha was originally conceived as a Varisian half-drow. I can set her up as just a half-elf if half-drow is unacceptable.
Backstory: Her mother had been captured by slavers and sold to the Drow. The professor owed a debt to her grandmother (a Varisian fortune-teller and Harrower) and retirved her mother through great effort. Her mother died in childbirth and the clan would have killed the child except for her birthmark, which her grandmother harrowed as a sign of Shelyn's favor. Once again grandmother contacted the professor and he took the child to a temple of Shelyn to be raised there. Since then the professor has monitored and studied the child and Iesha regards him as a father.
Actually, scratch that, I may also play a paladin. The background would still be fairly similar though.

** spoiler omitted **...
Snicker...don't forget the hat!
As far as HP are concerned:
Max at 1st level.
subsequent levels you can either roll and add your con bonus as normal,
or you can take half the dice value and add your con bonus.
so if you're a barbarian, it would be 6 hp + con bonus.
Lorant Pelus, Human Mobile Fighter 1
Lorant grew up in Rozenport, the youngest son of a farrier. With a strong arm and quick reflexes, he quickly found a place in the local guard rising from message boy to guardsman-at-arms. Despite his swordsmanship, however, he was unprepared and unskilled in the politics at the higher ranks, so his position stagnated.
On one of Professor Lorrimor’s visits to Rozenport to visit the Sincomakti School of Sciences, Lorant stumbled onto the Professor being robbed. Without thinking, he launched himself at the thieves, barrelling into the closest one. Drawing his sword, he quickly brought down two of the thieves and the third then fled. That night Lorant earned the thanks of the Professor and a free meal.
Over time, Lorant forgot the name of the man he saved, until he received the summons to the funeral. With his life and career unsatisfying, Lorant saw the message as a sign and joined up with the with the next merchant travelling to Ravengro.
Well, I see some familiar players,
ones that'll even keep a dying game going.
Snicker...don't forget the hat!
"Uv Course! Vot goot iz a Jager vitout hiz hat!"
If you'll look in his equipment, I believe you'll find a nice hat, unfortunately not as nice as Gil's hat.
<threadjack>Nice or not, I have my doubts anyone's going to see Gil's hat again for a looooong time....</threadjack>

When Eva around 4 years old her mother died and was adopted into the Aurora house, since she was of the Dukes blood and was better liked then Heather (a scheming b****). It was also decided at that time, that Eva would inherit everything, since Heather had not produced an heir. Heather did not take that well. Heather tried to produce an heir for 2 years, but to no aveal. When Heather was found plotting against the Eva when she was 6 years old. Heather was sentenced to death by the Duke, but Eva stopped it and had Heather exiled. Some 3 years later the Aurora house fell (some say Heather sold her soul for revenge on the house). Eva later was being looked after in a temple, whom were friends with the Aurora family and had an agreement with them. When she turned 14 she was told to find her position in the world from the head of the temple, as their obligation and agreement to the Aurora house had ended.
During her time at both Aurora house and the temple she was being trained one on one with a cleric, named Alkaid. Alkaid was known for her beauty and skill, but also in how she fought and defended herself. Alkaid taught Eva the Clerical arts, but also the basics of martial arts and how to keep the mind body and soul fit and beautiful.
After Eva left the temple she went wandering the land. One day she was attacked by a vampire spawn and she only survived in part to the professor's help. Since then she and the professor remained connected by sending letters about ever month. After the vampire spawn's attack, Eva been training in melee anti-undead combat fighting.

I'm interested. Aiming for an Inquisitor of Pharasma (Sin Eater) whose focus will be Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma in that order. Might even dip into an older character for the bonus to those stats.
He'll be amongst the last of the active Sin Eaters in Ustalav and one who had extensive contact with the Professor over the years, growing to have a tight bond with the old man.
Also, with GM approval I'd like to take the Seeker archetype from the SRD. No biggie if can't do it.
Background done.
What races are you allowing?
All standard races. Anything else needs approval.

I'd prefer sticking with classes and archetypes from the books listed in the first post, please.
Alas, I have accumulated too many aliases, and my work computer has all the reactive speed of a heavily sedated labrador retriever. hehe
i would like to post the concept for my character. Seeing that so much want to play a divine or arcane charact, I think I refrain from my initial idea and want to propose a Ninja.
Que Xuan is the daughter of Tian immigrants to Ustalav, living in Lepistadt. Her parents flew from Tian out of reasons unknown to her and live the life of peacefull crafts men. Nevertheless her parents trained her in the secret ways of the Ninja and someday she was lucky enough to save the Professors life.
Just fwiw, *if* I get picked for this, I'm considering starting a CC PbP of my own.
Note: I've never run a PbP, so it would be a learning experience for all of us, however, I'd be willing to take those who posted here who don't make it in.
This is not intended as a bribe, btw.
If it works out, I'll let everyone know how I want the characters set up.
"Hy guess hyu'z goink to be de grett beeg sneeky-pents. Vell, I vould be shure dot hyu ken break de traps real goot, yah?"
(I think the accent is going to be the toughest thing about this character.)

No worries. I only wanted access to it for trapfinding, since as yet no rogues have been submitted...it's all good though.
